Scoobie Davis - Hanging Up His Shoes?
In this world of superstar blogs, it's inevitable that some of the more brilliant bloggers will be overlooked. Case in point - Scoobie Davis. The man has been at it tirelessly for years, taking on the Hannitys and Limbaughs and all other sort of unsavory right-wing cranks and hacks. And unlike a lot of people who have prospered with the advent of blog ads, Scoobie has done all of his amazing work on a shoestring.
Well, B3 reader Stentor gave me the heads-up - Scoobie has posted what might be his last post on his blog. It's a damn sad thing, because Scoobie has gone where a lot of bloggers refused or feared to tread. He stood up to Hannity, to Savage (he gave TBTM an awful lot of support during our legal travails with that disgusting pusbag), he spoofed an interview with Coulter, he set a lot of standards for new jacks like me who got to the party late.
If you know about Scoobie, chances are he's done something over the past 3 years that has gained your respect and admiration. I know that if his mind is made up we'll never convince him not to hang it up, but if he's ever made you laugh at his Limbaugh-crashing or marvel at his nerve in facing down the right's nastiest hate-mongers, then send the man an email and just let him know that he's done some good.
Ask him to stick around. No party is that much fun without a party crasher.

American Stranger,
Thanks, I appreciate the help with this one. I sent him my e-mail and phone numbers, but he hasn't called me or contacted me. Hopefully he will, I'm going to assume that this is burnout. Maybe he just needs a break for awhile.

I got home at about ten this evening, and there was a message from Scoobie on it. He thanked me, and then he said he was going to take a hiatus for a little bit, maybe a month or two.
